if you hit "print screen" and paste into ms paint its easier then going through all the hassle of saving the image through the site.

You realize we're not Virginia Tech, right?

[jeebus]

how so? i figured the "bowling green" across the front wouldnt be used by any other schools. bugger.

if the brown looks a bit maroonish sorry...the BROWN on the site looked black...and i know that would cause all KINDS of problems

[PGY Tiercel]

I was thinking the same thing DD. It may just not be a dark enough brown, some colors/patterns are able to fool your eyes/brain into seeing other colors. I think this needs to be considered when making a jersey, especially one seen on TV. The first time I saw the Brown Jersey, I thought it initially looked black.

That aside I think I like E the best.

[Jacobs4Heisman]

The brown jerseys absolutely look black on TV. I bet there are more than a few casual football fans out there that think we wear black jerseys.

[jeebus]

yea, they do look really dark but in the light u can see they're brown.

anyway, now that i had some time to look at em...if i had to pick which one of these id rather see, i couldnt...so B, E OR F. classic meets modern...and B i think would look sweet with our helmets.

[moneymaker02]

why are you even talking about new jerseys, the jerseys we have now are sweet and look amazing on tv. if anything get rid of the brown jerseys

[jeebus]

i agree...100% i LOVE THE CURRENT ORANGE JERSEYS and think the brown ones should only pop up once in a great while. maybe homecoming or something.

this is just for fun. thats why i said pretend they were banned and we had to come up with another one.


all of the mock ups and stuff dont really MEAN anything so why talk about ANYTHING. why talk about recruits? we dont recruit. why talk about coaches? we cant fire em. this forum would be dead except for thoughts on games and for some reason those have been few and far between lately.

[Dayons_Den]

why are you even talking about new jerseys,

Because there have been unconfirmed reports that new threads will be in the works for the 2007 season. Combined with the fact the current uniforms have lived out the recent 3 season trend for uniforms we just may be getting a whole new design, not just new shirts and pants.

The stripe on the arm looks a little "tigery" to me. Almost a bengal feeling to it. maybe all brown sleeves, with a orange patch like the white that is one the current brown?

[Warthog]

I checked out that website and I think that stripe is on the arm because that is the "Rams" style jersey.

We disagree.

I believe the brown jerseys are the only good jerseys our teams have worn in years -- or at least since Josh Harris played here.

I believe in brown as the primary color. I also believe in a traditional look for us.

To my eyes, Ohio University has the best uniforms in the conference. These things take advantage of that institutions two most valuable assets: It's ancient tradition, and the word "Ohio."

There is merit to trying to reinvent the football uniform -- but the challenge is to do it right.

Oregon, incidentally, did it right. They threw out the rule book and they made a bold statement. When Oregon steps onto a field, they are not confused with any other football team in the world. They broke ground.

When Bowling Green steps onto the field, I would like it understood that this is Bowling Green, and no other team -- not Clemson, not Syracuse, etc. That should be the goal.

Here, brown is a key weapon. By making brown the dominant color, we set ourselves apart instantly.

It becomes more of a challenge to make a bold modern design statement, especially in our situation.

I sense that when we work with suppliers, they essentially pitch us concepts that have been tried elsewhere -- which is entirely at odds with what Oregon achieved and the goal of truly reinventing the uniform.

And we see the result, I think, in the orange home and white road jerseys. Essentially, we have an odd font for the numerals and some swooshes around. A lot of football teams have been dabbling with these concepts for years.

I've never cared for them.

In fact, I think we will be snickering at them a couple of decades hence -- perhaps comparing the whole fad (and, yes, I see our current nonbrown uniforms as faddish) to the baby blue phase of major league baseball road uniforms a couple of decades back.

Some of the traditional versus modern question comes down to how you see our university and your aspirations for it.

On the one hand, we are a relatively youthful institution that has never allowed itself to be tied too tightly to the cobwebs of pomp and tradition. Certainly, one doesn't see that when one looks at campus architecture.

And yet, when I look at our football team, I see a strong, proud tradition. I see a half-century of winning tradition in the MAC, in a state that drips with football tradition. I see that we play in a stadium named for this fella:



So, at the end of the day, I figure we should probably come up with a uniform that Doyt Perry would have liked.

The brown home jerseys are pretty close to that. And that's why I like 'em.

That's my take.

I like this. Kill the strip on the sleeve and replace it with either a falcon head or interlocking BG and you have a winner!

to the younger generation, the brown looks like poop, the white on white looks amazing. many people well be trully mad if they change the uni's, after all we just got them not long ago.
